Does life have you feeling unsettled, overlooked, anxious, exhausted? Good news! There's a better way。

The result? Transformation--for you and those around you。 Experiencing the endless depths of God's peace where you can actually, finally, somehow breathe。 Welcome to the less-than-perfect, sometimes hilarious, consistently magical journey of practicing thankfulness, kindness, and mercy with Kay, her kids, and some brave friends。

The peace project is an uplifting feel good book about the power of Gratitude, Mercy and Kindness。 Incorporating these 3 things into our life can bring a mindset change and peace to our souls。 I was a bit misled about the description of the book。 I believed it to be a day by day goal/list if things to do for the reader。 But instead it read more like a journal of the individuals that took part in the peace project。 Still a good read。 Just not what I thought it was。 I received a free copy of the P The peace project is an uplifting feel good book about the power of Gratitude, Mercy and Kindness。 Incorporating these 3 things into our life can bring a mindset change and peace to our souls。 I was a bit misled about the description of the book。 I believed it to be a day by day goal/list if things to do for the reader。 But instead it read more like a journal of the individuals that took part in the peace project。 Still a good read。 Just not what I thought it was。 I received a free copy of the Peace project from Netgally in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I really loved the idea of this book initially, but it ended up not at all being what I was expecting - and I'm really sad about it! This book is described as a 30-day experiment, so I assumed that it would give much more structure - and be something that I could work at over a 30-day period, but in reality, this is just the account of one woman and her family taking on this challenge themselves。 Kay shares her reflections and experiences, but I found that these got somewhat repetitive, and didn I really loved the idea of this book initially, but it ended up not at all being what I was expecting - and I'm really sad about it!
